Really rude cashier (has a beard). Literally yanked the drink out of my hand and cursed to me in armenian

They have a great selection of everything in this store. This is the first time I see a carpeted liquor store which was really wierd, have customers fallen on wet linoleum floors so the added carpet? - who knows. I dropped in to get my lottery ticket cashed and exchanged it for more SuperLotto and scratcher tickets. read more

Verdugo Liquor - COVID-19 lotto time - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Glendale, California

If you are at all concerned about covid (as you should) do NOT go here. Not only were men walking around without masks inside but the workers don't either. I even ASKED the cashier to put on a mask, he refused. I will be reporting them, never returning, and warning anyone I can. For your safety (cuz they sure as hell don't care about yours) avoid this place. read more

I come to Verdugo liqour all the time for all my at home alcohol needs. During football season, I get a lot of beer... and during the weekend, I pick up a bottle or two of liqour. They have the Don Julio 1942 for $99 (I'm not sure how long this offer will last but it's been there for a while) and they have 2 barrels of $1 miniature liquor bottles for times when I'm low on cash. I know I sound like an alcoholic but this is a review for a liquor store. Don't judge me.... One time I walked to the liquor store since it was nice out but forgot to bring my wallet. The owner trusted me and told me that I can pay next time I come back. I can't give them less than 5 stars for that kind of trust :) read more

This liquor store is honestly the best I've ever been to! The employees are all very kind and very friendly. I went in to buy alcohol for my birthday and they had a huge selection to choose from (Best selection of wine ive ever seen). They always have a smile on their face and I enjoy coming in and having a conversation with the employees. I will always come and support any small businesses :) Also regarding the messages about the previous owner, do not worry everyone it is under new management! read more

Interesting experience at verdugo liquor tonight. Here's a basic summary though: Walked into the store as the man behind the desk was arguing with two customers. I understand that i can't really blame him however since the customers were being a bit belligerent, so all is fine so far. Purchased two separate products Arrived home later to find one of my items missing Called the store and eventually got lucky enough to speak with their answering machine Drive alllllll the way back to verdugo liquor Walk into the store to see the man chillin with the phone in his hand Obviously, he is not speaking with a customer I ask why he didn't answer my call No apology but he was kind enough to smile at me and say, "I was probably on the phone," while showing off the very phone we were talking about. . . . Yeeeeahhhh i won't be back. read more

This store is under new ownership and these guys have totally remodeled and made this place an amazing store worth going to with great customer service I don't know why there are bad reviews because everything they have in there are quality products not cheap shit and the men are nice to look at too :) they have great deals on liquor and beer and you don't have to worry about panhandlers asking you for money when you go it's definitely my favorite store. And if you're afraid of catching Covid then wear your own damn mask. read more

A working man's liquor store tucked into the little huddle of businesses on Verdugo opposite Montrose proper. However, Verdugo Liquor definitely deserves some respect in the face of such competition as the bizarre-ass ex-gas-station Palace Liquors just a mile or so down Verdugo. If you are into creepy old ladies behind the counter yelling at their cell phones and babysitting their kids in a musty, hot store with weird old dudes hanging out outside, skip this review and head for Palace. The staff at Verdugo has always been completely chill, certainly not giving out the common paranoid watcher vibe of many liquor stores. They leave you to browse, but are helpful and cool if you've got a question. The first thing to see entering the store is usually a massive display of hard liquors currently on sale, and while I've only been here looking at beer, a curious look through the sales have always shown some really nice bargains. Before Halloween they were selling a Vodka that came in a glass skull for fifteen bucks or so, which was completely rad. I kick myself for skipping that hilarity. What really gets my thumbs-up here, though, is the beer selection. Unless I'm being the occasional fancy dude and drinking wine, I pretty much stick to beer when I want a grownup drink, and Verdugo Liquor has a really damn decent selection of imports and smaller breweries. Where a lot of stores in the area seem to go rabid-nuts over having a good wine selection and then toss up a cooler full of domestic beers and some lackluster imports in a dark corner, Verdugo has a full wall of beer cases, with enough to keep both the beer snob and Jim the Pipe-Layer happy. Humboldt Hemp Ale, which has been impossible for me to find outside of Santa Cruz county, is always in stock. The full line of Stone brewery beers is available (excellent stuff). It's the sort of selection that has room to try a new brew each time you go shopping. The store also has a respectable wine section, your usual cases of energy drinks, sodas and other non-alcs, and what looks like a pretty good assortment of hookah and other tobacco accessories, if that's your thing. Overall, a laid-back, friendly staff, a fine selection of usual and unusual beers, and the proximity to other places I like to be (read: my house) earn Verdugo Liquors a solid four stars. read more

I've got a number of friends who live up here in the Foothills, and whenever I go to barbeques at their houses, THIS is the liquor store I hit up on my way. All those years I worked in La Cañada, I often overlooked this liquor store because they didn't carry my brand of cigarettes. Now that I am a boring grown-up who has quit smoking, I can clearly see that this is a superior liquor store. If this place was down the street from my house, I'd definitely be a regular. Verdugo Liquor has a crazy selection of the hard stuff, and they sell it at decent prices. But what keeps me coming back is the beer. Every time I come here I see some neat, new craft beer that you don't see every day (like He'brew) or is just hard to find (like Leinenkugel amber ale.) They have yuppie craft beers like I enjoy, but they also carry good cheap-o beers, like Hamm's. They have a lot of wine, too, if you're into that. read more

I've only been to this store twice on the past decade with my nephew and his friends for our cigar nights. After all the business we have given him he accusses me of stealing. Horrible customer service ethics and is making threats to get his middle eastern friends to come after me and my friends. This person needs a serious lesson in customer service and needs to know that he cannot get away with such actions. This grounds for a lawsuit. read more

So I go in to buy some Pink Champagne and a bottle of liquor. Liquor wise, their prices are the same as other stores, give or take a dollar. However, the pink champagne seemed a little cheap - and here I was thinking "Maybe they charge less, since it's not 'really' champagne... Oh, what an idiot I was. I chill this bottle of bubbly, and as soon as I open it (which was harder than usual for a screw cap) and pour a glass, I notice UNIDENTIFIED BLACK SPECKS in the champagne. And I tried to google it - and came up with no answer! (However google did come up with the answer that cheap brands of champagne expire sooner than more expensive brands.) All I have to say is a store that is willing to sell EXPIRED products (at a lower price?!) shouldn't be considered. It really sucks to write this because I have come in here a few times with no troubles at all... until I opened this bottle. That had little black flecks floating around inside. THAT IS NOT NATURAL. read more

Verdugo Liquor - UNIDENTIFIED BLACK SPECKS IN A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE. EVEN GOOGLE HAD NO ANSWERS AS TO WHAT THIS IS! HOW OLD IS THIS BOTTLE?! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Glendale, California

This is one of my main places for drinks of the acoholic nature. No seriously, here is a TOP TIP for Oktoberfest. You buy yourself some brews here and brown bag it! The Oktoberfest beer is $8 for ONE beer. Their brats are also $8. What a ripoff and you know its a NON profit organization? Back to the story, they have some good deals on hard liquor as well. They have a cigar humidor and a decent selection of adult magazines. Usually there is parking- its all good. read more

I LOVE ME SOME VERDUGO LIQUOR! They have a fantastic selection of older liquor which is always fun to dig through. They also have a great selection of bourbon and whiskey and the prices are extremely fair. That's why I keep coming back! read more

Good selection of Beer, Wine and Liquor and Stogies! The liquor is well priced, the beer not so much, but the selection is to die for. You have Belgians, the Stone beers, microbrews from all up and down the West Coast and some English/Scottish beers that are hard to find. Okay cigar selection, lots of hookah filler "shisha" tobacco from names familiar and those not so familiar. The car magazine -you know with all the thick ladies you crave with gigantic asses and the cars that are oh so stylish- selection is prime. Porno selection is extensive for a liquor store. Staff is cool too. Pretty much everything you need for a life style of debauchery, the only thing holding me back from a better rating is the price on the beer which is counter-balanced by the specials on liquor. read more

Great selection of beer, wine, hard liquor, cigars, hooka tobacco and accessories. Low prices are the cherry on top. Not to mention (Dea) the young handsome employee ;) is always courteous. read more

This is the #1 place to go for Cigars! Stop going to the overpriced Cigar stores and lounges and pick up the same cigar with the same freshness right here at Verdugo Liquor! They have a great selection of cigars in their walk in humidor. I am in there at least once a week to pick up a cigar or two. I also have to give it up to the great staff they have working there. If something new comes in they let me know and if I have a question about a cigar it can usually be answered. Dia and Eddy are the Best! Thank you guys for everything! read more

Purchased two puff plus' today and both ran out within hours. I tried contacting them, no answer. Spent over $40 on them and very disappointed as I live in Long Beach. The man behind the counter asked that I try the puff bar prior to leaving because other accused them of selling them short. I went ahead and tried it in the car and all seemed to be fine. Yet here I am a few hours later and they both stopped working. I will be bringing my a friend in from ca abc to help rectify this if the proper resolution is not met read more

This place is a life saver. When 8 o'clock hits and you get an itch for a good cigar, that itch usually doesn't get scratched. Most cigar and smoke shops are closed. Never fear, Verdugo is here. Verdugo has the biggest cigar room I've seen in a liquor store. Wide selection of Rocky Patels. In fact, I can't think of many that have a walk in humidified room. Better than decent wine and beer selection. Thanks for always being there Verdugo. read more

I HATE this place , was trying to have a fun night so I go here for a deck of cards and he ID's me for playing cards , my ID wasent with me so he didn't sell it read more

These Armos have a good selection of tobacco products and a wide selection of beer. Highly recommend

Don't ever come here !!!! This place is trash.. was consistently buying like 4 of the big puff bars a week here. Recently, they must have got a bad batch or their counterfeit plug got a worse batch. As I tell the guy with the glasses that before used to talk to me all friendly he tells me (with no mask on) to try the puff in the store. I tell him I'm gonna go try it outside (because of covid) I'm not trying to take off my mask in the nasty store that he's probably never cleaned. The puff bar doesn't work as I go back he gets mad that I didn't try it in front of him. I'm not about to take off my mask And when I told him to put on a mask, he got all mad and told me not to tell him what to do. DONT EVER COME HERE... look out for the guy with glasses and ugly face. Motherfucker got a deformed ass face talking all this shit. They don't have any respect for customers he straight up told me idc how much u come here.... lol fuck this place and fuck this guy..... read more

This really is a great liquor store, I come here usually before I go to a party because their beer selection is AWESOME (and cold) and they also have a great assortment of wines. They are also very reasonably priced and parking is a snap. I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a better selection of booze than a market would have. read more

Carries lots of necessities. Especially large variety of Sweet Dream cigarettes. Not a bad wine selection either. They actually have quite an extensive cellar. read more

The owner of this shop treats his returning customers like complete trash. Me and my buddies would always come to this store and buy cigars for our cigar nights. Good prices and great selection. The owner one day straight up accuses us of stealing cigars....this was a shock to me. I asked him to show me on the video camera of us stealing and of course the culprit looks nothing like us. I wasn't even sure if the person(s) in question on video surveillance were even stealing, regardless it didn't look anything like us. I kindly told the owner that it is not right for you to treat your returning customers in such a fashion and make such accusations I can pull up my bank statement and show exactly how much business I brought to this shop. And his response to me was "You aren't the only one who shops here". I have worked in retail and customer service for many years and we never treat customers like this. He also priced some of his cigars for a lower price and still charged a higher price and refused to honor the displayed price. We will not be going back. This guy lost all of our business I will not be recommending to anyone. read more

Very unhappy with this place, overpriced. They say there is a $10 minimum for card. And even then charge for using my debit. Bad selection of everything from alcohol-hookah products. Also, be prepared to be followed around the store. Very uncomfortable experience. read more
